Samji added, “We are so thrilled and excited for the winner of the Grand Prize of Dhs50,000,000. This is by far the biggest prize money to have been won in the United Arab Emirates and the GCC.”

Additionally, six winners who matched five of the numbers shared the second prize which was doubled to Dhs2m this week as it went unclaimed in the 47th draw that took place on October 16, 2021. Each second prize winner took home Dhs333,333. The third prize of Dhs1,000 for four matching numbers was won by 185 participants, and Dhs35 went to 3,456 participants who matched three of the six numbers. The total prize money won disbursed in the latest draw therefore stands at Dhs52,305,960.

It’s time to reveal the news! Remember when you had to match 6 numbers to win the top prize? You now need to match only 5 numbers!

Mahzooz announced on Sunday that it was also introducing a new raffle draw where three participants will win Dhs100,000 each. All of the participants from that draw will then be entered into a grand draw immediately after wherein those who match 5 out of 49 numbers win a prize of Dhs10m, those who match four out of the five drawn numbers win Dhs1m and those who match 3 of the 5 numbers win Dhs350 each.

Mahzooz was initially called The Emirates Loto. It was abruptly discontinued after a few editions in July 2020 and returned in November rebranded as Mahzooz, which means lucky in Arabic.

Mahzooz has now become the second-biggest draw in the UAE following the recent introduction of Emirates Draw which has a grand prize of Dhs77.7m and is also held weekly.
